It was my first experience with AirBnb, we were skeptical with the standard of accommodation offered, it exceeded our expectations because of the standards and hospitality provided by Mr Nutt and his associates, Ms Pair and Ms Beau.

The location of Mr Nutt's home is conveniently located near the train station (BTS), which was why we shortlisted(and eventually selected) it and is one of most value of money accommodation in Ari, which is close to central Bangkok. The home is less than 10 minutes walk and there is no need to take a taxi in. There are many food stalls and chic diners within the vicinity. Ms Pair was kind to recommend us some of their local favorites, it was different than the usual popular tourist places provided by hotels and travel agencies, and more of a local experience.

When we first arrived, we did not know what to expect. First observation and what came as a surprise (in a good way) is to know there is actually a security guard post at the entrance to the street. The home itself felt welcoming, we were actually searching for something that looks like a hostel or backpackers inn or something commercial-like, however it looks much more like being brought in to a Thai family home. When we arrived there were other guest in the living room watching television and having their lunch that they have packed back from street food stalls. It had an exceptional 'homely' local feel to it.

Ms Beau checked us in and brought us around the home and to our room, introducing to us to some of the other guest. She informed us thoroughly on concerns like how to use the laundry as well as house rules and the use of the free WiFi. The bed sheets are clean and the toilet look sterile. The estate is relatively quiet at night as well.

Being new to AirBnb's services, and into homes such as Mr Nutt's. It was an eye opening experience into AirBnb's services, and a new unique experience provided by Mr Nutt's home. I am a fully satisfied guest.
